Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - »Dimensions. Journal of Architectural Knowledge« is an academic journal in, on, and from the discipline of architecture, addressing the creation, constitution, and transmission of architectural knowledge. It explores methods genuine to the discipline and architectural modes of interdisciplinary methodological adaptions. Processes, procedures, and results of knowledge creation and practice are esteemed coequally, with particular attention to the architectural design and epistemologies of aesthetic practice and research.Dimensions Issue 07/2024, edited by Eva-Maria Ciesla, Susanne Hauser, Hannah Strothmann, and Julia Weber, aims to initiate a discussion on the potentials and limitations of »Architecture as Intervention« in an era when architecture faces unprecedented global challenges. Viewing architecture through the lens of intervention positions it as a transformative tool or catalyst for change. The issue presents a diverse array of strategies that exemplify how architecture and its associated discourse have evolved into dynamic forms of intervention. By showcasing these innovative approaches, readers are invited to rethink the role of architecture in shaping the future and responding to the crises of our time.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In 2001, Freestyle, a survey exhibition curated by Thelma Golden at the Studio Museum in Harlem, introduced both a young generation of artists of African descent and the ambitious yet knowingly opaque term post-black to a pre 9-11 and pre-Obama world. In Taking Stakes in the Unknown, Nana Adusei-Poku contextualizes the term post-black in its socio-historical and cultural context. Whilst exploring its present legacy and past potential, she examines works by artists who were defined as part of the post-black generation: Mark Bradford, Leslie Hewitt, Mickalene Thomas and Hank Willis Thomas - and, by expanding the scope of the definition, the Black German artist Philip Metz.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Where do computer games »happen« The articles collected in this pioneering volume explore the categories of »space«, »place« and »territory« featuring in most general theories of space to lay the groundwork for the study of spatiality in games. Shifting the focus away from earlier debates on, e.g., the narrative nature of games, this collection proposes, instead, that thorough attention be given to the tension between experienced spaces and narrated places as well as to the mapping of both of these.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The inclusion of skateboarding as an official discipline in the 2020 Olympic Games marks the pinnacle of a decades-long process of commercialization and sportification. Is the tightly-knit subculture in danger of losing its very identity This anthology creates an analytical framework for understanding the fundamental conflict between skateboarding's core ethos and the tenets of institutionalized sports. Eleven acclaimed international authors from the fields of architecture, philosophy, sociology, sports sciences and gender studies provide a unique perspective on the manifold manifestations of skateboarding previously ignored by academic discourse.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This volume collects academic as well as artistic explorations highlighting historical and contemporary approaches to the 'energetic' in its aesthetic and political potential. Energetic processes cross dance, performance art and installations. In contemporary dance and performance art, energetic processes are no longer mere conditions of form but appear as distinct aesthetic interventions. They transform the body, evoke specific states and push towards intensities.International contributors (i.e. Gerald Siegmund, Susan Leigh Foster, Lucia Ruprecht) unfold thorough investigations, elucidating maneuvers of mobilization, activation, initiation, regulation, navigation and containment of forces as well as different potentials and promises associated with the 'energetic'.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - How did urban Italy come to look the way it does today This collection of essays assembles recent studies in architectural history and theory exploring the historical paradigms guiding architecture and landscape design between the world wars. The authors explore physical changes in townscapes and landscapes, covering a wide range of architectural designs from strict modernist solutions to variations of regionalism, mediterraneanism and national style from all over Italy. Specifically, the volume explains how conservation, restoration and town planning for historic areas led to the production of heritage, and elucidates the role played by architects like Marcello Piacentini, Innocenzo Sabbatini, Mario De Renzi and Giulio Ulisse Arata.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In remote areas of Europe, local history museums struggle to connect with the rapidly changing and increasingly diverse communities around them. Insa Müller asks how these museums can recast themselves to strengthen the links to their communities. Combining theoretical deliberations, empirical investigations of the case of two Norwegian islands and a museum experiment, she offers starting points for rethinking the local history museum, while at the same time providing suggestions for locally adapted museum practice.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What is the logic of design process Departing from this question, Tiago da Costa e Silva investigates the characteristic feature of every projective activity, for instance, in architecture, design, engineering design, and in the arts. In opposition to predominant views that understand design processes as mechanical and deterministic, this study, with the help of the semiotics of Charles S. Peirce, characterizes design activities as continuous and serendipitous interplays of esthetic and abductive processes that define rules and manifest forms. Tiago da Costa e Silva concludes that invention and discovery, manifested in the form of processes of abduction, actively pervade every development in any given context of design process.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Journal of Cultural Management and Cultural Policy offers international perspectives on a wide range of issues in cultural management and cultural policy research and practice. This issue looks at resiliency in cultural management and policy from a variety of perspectives. Resiliency (or its exact synonym, resilience) refers to the ability to withstand difficulty, or to bounce back from chaos or trauma. In the cultural sector, the term often refers to both the resiliency of artists and other cultural workers to work and create despite the many pressures against them. It also encompasses the belief that the presence of art in human society makes both society and individuals more resilient.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Over the last 70 years, media have become increasingly central to nautical mobility. Asher Boersma describes how, in the 1960s and 1970s, the focus of the Western European infrastructuring state shifted from dramatic physical intervention to control rooms, which both benefited from and drove the mediatisation of navigation, especially radar. He shows that, in the 1980s, conflicts between operators and management were manifested and resolved in the design of early simulators, and traces how the digitalisation of bridges and wheelhouses decentralised control again, away from shore. The nucleus of change in transport infrastructure has been where it is scaled, in control rooms and on ships, and that scaling is primarily what nautical media allow.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Since the early transformation of European music practice and theory in the cultural centers of Asia, Latin America, and Africa around 1900, it has become necessary for music history to be conceived globally - a challenge that musicology has hardly faced yet. This book discusses the effects of cultural globalization on processes of composition and distribution of art music in the 20th and 21st century. Christian Utz provides the foundations of a global music historiography, building on new models such as transnationalism, entangled histories, and reflexive globalization. The relationship between music and broader changes in society forms the central focus and is treated as a pivotal music-historical dynamic. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - After a long time of neglect, Artificial Intelligence is once again at the center of most of our political, economic, and socio-cultural debates. Recent advances in the field of Artifical Neural Networks have led to a renaissance of dystopian and utopian speculations on an AI-rendered future. Algorithmic technologies are deployed for identifying potential terrorists through vast surveillance networks, for producing sentencing guidelines and recidivism risk profiles in criminal justice systems, for demographic and psychographic targeting of bodies for advertising or propaganda, and more generally for automating the analysis of language, text, and images. Against this background, the aim of this book is to discuss the heterogenous conditions, implications, and effects of modern AI and Internet technologies in terms of their political dimension: What does it mean to critically investigate efforts of net politics in the age of machine learning algorithms.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The concept of 'postmigration' has recently gained importance in the context of European societies' obsession with migration and integration along with emerging new forms of exclusion and nationalisms. This book introduces ongoing debates on the developing concept of 'postmigration' and how it can be applied to arts and culture. While the concept has mainly gained traction in the cultural scene in Berlin, Germany, the contributions expand the field of study by attending to cultural expressions in literature, theatre, film, and art across various European societies, such as the United Kingdom, France, Finland, Denmark, and Germany. By doing so, the contributions highlight this concept's potential and show how it can offer new perspectives on transformations caused by migration.transcript Verlag, Hermannstraße 26, 33602 Bielefeld 348 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -How can performing be transformed into cognition Knowing in Performing describes dynamic processes of artistic knowledge production in music and the performing arts. Knowing refers to how processual, embodied, and tacit knowledge can be developed from performative practices in music, dance, theatre, and film. By exploring the field of artistic research as a constantly transforming space for participatory and experimental artistic practices, this anthology points the way forward for researchers, artists, and decision-makers inside and outside universities of the arts.GPSR Kontakt, Harvestehuder Weg 42, 20149 Hamburg 228 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Warum setzen immer mehr Menschen ihr Leben im Abenteuer- und Risikosport in einer auf den ersten Blick völlig überflüssig erscheinenden Weise aufs Spiel Der Autor zeigt, dass die Motive für die riskanten Praktiken auf »unzeitgemäß« gewordene Bedürfnisse hinweisen, die in der Gegenwartsgesellschaft an den Rand gedrängt werden. Der Extremsport erlaubt ein Ausleben dieser Bedürfnisse, verstrickt die Risikoakteure aber auch in Widersprüche und Paradoxien, aus denen es kein Entkommen gibt. Das Buch geht über die bisherigen Erklärungsansätze zum Extremsport weit hinaus und eröffnet neue Lesarten der modernen Gesellschaft und ihrer Körperpraktiken.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The study of the museum visitor has undergone radical transformation. Each author here has asked unfamiliar questions and responded with fresh answers. Some of these questions involve the visitor's identity, what she brings to her museum experience. Can we gain entry into this experience Does more technology really increase access to the objects themselves Others probe the very nature of museum going and exhibition making, demanding that we reexamine the traditional exhibition to reposition the visitor and her meaning-making at the centre. The volume provokes imaginative research and encourages new conclusions.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The Journal of Cultural Management and Cultural Policy offers international perspectives on a wide range of issues in cultural management and cultural policy research and practice. Cultural participation has been a central topic in cultural policy discourse as well as in the theory and real-life practice of cultural management for over 50 years now. But what do we mean by cultural participation Who is the driving force behind participation How can we measure whether the goals of cultural participation have been achieved The discourse conducted in the 1970s under the claim »culture for all« has (again) gained momentum in recent years with regard to the distribution of power, structural exclusions and the creation of new or different access points. The contributors paint a differentiated picture of cultural participation, also considering diversity, accessibility and inclusion.transcript Verlag, Hermannstraße 26, 33602 Bielefeld 270 pp. Englisch.…
